Revision as of 18:24, 10 October 2020


The 2020 Boroondara council election will be held on 24 October 2020. As per previous elections, it will be conducted by mail-out ballots. Following changes made by the Victorian Government to the electoral boundaries, a new ward will be created at this election.[1] It will be the first election since Boroondara's establishment in 1996 that Boroondara will have an odd number of wards.

Key dates

As per the Local Government Act 1989, general council elections are held on the fourth Saturday of October every four years. Postal elections, such as those held in Boroondara, actually commence three weeks prior to polling day when ballot mailouts begin.[2]

  • 28 August 2020 - Electoral roll closes at 4pm
  • 17 September 2020 - Nominations open
  • 22 September 2020 - Nominations close at 12pm
  • 23 September 2020 - Lodgement of candidate statements, photos and questionnaires close at 12pm
  • 6 October 2020 - Ballot pack mailout begins
  • 8 October 2020 - Ballot pack mailout ends
  • 23 October 2020 - Voting closes at 6pm
  • 13 November 2020 - Results declared

Due to the impact of lockdown restrictions due to the COVID-19 pandemic, there were calls to postpone elections until 2021.[3] No changes have been made to the election schedule as a result.
